[Miles McNall]

• My research focus: I have 25 years of experience with the evaluation of programs that support the health and well-being of school-aged children. I bring this evaluative lens to my current role, where I coordinate professional development opportunities for researchers in the principles and practices of community-engaged research and broader impacts. I am interested in understanding what community-engaged research practices truly benefit communities – from the perspective of community members, not researchers.
• Why I enjoy mentoring: I have always learned as much from mentees as they have learned from me. I appreciate and am inspired by the energy and passion of emerging community-engaged scholars and love helping them find they pathway toward making a difference.
• My professional values: Creating a culture of caring and respect. Fiercely resisting the pressure to treat other human beings as a means to one’s professional ends.
